Personally I like the idea that I can name my bookmarks whatever I want. This allows me to save web sites that are poorly named with something I prefer. Exploiting this would be a "social engineering" exploit, not a bug. I guess the more integrated we get the harder it will be to prevent this kind of social exploit. Nothing short of a labotamy for exploiters can really help with a social exploit. Especially since most users tend to not bother understanding. Therefor I recomend a real fix for the problem - Turn off the computer...
yup totaly right rename bookmark to a website like hotmail and it follows the bookmark instead of the real page meanted
